Report: Chavez's cancer has 'entered the end stage'
Yahoo news ^ | 30 May 2012 | Dan Rather

Posted on 05/30/2012 10:28:24 AM PDT by mandaladon

This reporter has been told that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that has "entered the end stage". The information and the quote come from a highly respected source close to Chavez and who is in a position to know his medical condition and history. This source says the prognosis is dire and that Chavez is now not expected to live "more than a couple of months at most." Chavez is running for re-elec tion in Venezuela but several sources--including the one who revealed the exact kind of cancer-- have told me that they believe it is doubtful the dictator will live to see the results.

Voting is scheduled for October 7th. Chavez has been treated three times in Cuba but the exact kind of cancer has been a closely guarded state secret.

Reporter's note: There is only one source for identifying the cancer and for the prognosis quoted in the first part of the above story. This is a person whom your reporter has very good reason to trust, but you should know that there is only one source so far; no other immediate confirmation. All sources asked for and were granted anonymity because to reveal their names could place them in danger or, at the very least cost them their positions.

Actually, may his suffering be great enough that it alleviates the pain of many, many others.

Is Venezuela’s health care system so bad Chavez had to get treatment in Cuba? I despise commies but after watching my mom, dad and little brother die from cancer I hope he finds Jesus before it’s time to go.

Reporter’s note: “There is only one source for identifying the cancer and for the prognosis quoted in the first part of the above story. I cannot identify it right now because I just pulled it out of my butt.”

I tend to be skeptical of reports like these: too much of an opportunity for there to be a miracle recovery (right before the election) that somehow demonstrates the superhuman quality of an annointed leader and convinces the illiterate peasantry that it’s their duty to vote for him. So sorry, I’ll wait until the guy is confirmed at room temperature to take news like this without a grain of salt.

This might work out good for Obama. There’s going to be an opening for a commie blowhard and Barry is going to be looking for a job this Fall.

That is so wrong. You shouldn't wish him to suffer or be vindictive. You should be supportive and hope he lives a long, long time.

The least you can do is send a supply of colostomy bags and a Get Well(not) card.

Maybe they'll award him the Nobel peace prize before he passes Hells gate.
I dare to judge but guessing isn't wrong.
